Issue #10 marks the fifth year of The Fib Review. It features some of our seasoned Fibonacci poets as well as poets who have been published in Shot Glass Journal, Muse-Pie Press's online short poetry journal. These talented poets, new to the Fibonacci poetry form, prove that the Fib can be good poetry even though it's a structured form.

I was inspired reading through the submissions by the way the poets carefully craft their words to make you think, smile or question. As I read one poem after the other, I found myself caught in the rhythm of the very nature of the Fibonacci number sequence. It made me smile to recall how some say they find the Fibonacci poem difficult to read because it doesn't flow; it isn't natural.

I recently read an article about a 13-year old boy, Aidan Dwyer, who while hiking in the Catskills last winter, took notice of the patterns of tree branches. His research about the tree patterns lead him from the ancient Sanskrit poetry of India to Leonardo of Pisano and the Fibonacci number sequence, which is a recurring pattern found in nature.
